GraphQL over HTTP
A working draft specification that defines how GraphQL should be served over HTTP to ensure interoperability across clients and servers.
What is GraphQL over HTTP?
GraphQL over HTTP is a draft specification that defines the standard way to serve GraphQL APIs over HTTP. It addresses the lack of official transport guidance in the core GraphQL spec by providing clear rules for requests, responses, and error handling. This ensures that GraphQL clients and servers can interoperate reliably regardless of the underlying implementation.
GraphQL server and client library maintainers, API developers, and organizations building or consuming GraphQL APIs who need standardized HTTP behavior.
Developers choose this specification to eliminate ambiguity in HTTP-based GraphQL implementations, reducing integration issues and fostering a consistent ecosystem. Its formal status under the GraphQL Foundation provides long-term stability and community backing.
